An event dedicated to September 27 - Memorial Day was held at Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU).
First, the dear memory of the sons of the Motherland who gave their lives for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan was commemorated with a minute of silence, and the National Anthem was played.
AzTU Rector Vilayat Valiyev said that Memorial Day is as sad as it is honorable, and this date was the beginning of our glorious Victory. The Rector emphasized that the 44-day Patriotic War opened a new page in the military history of Azerbaijan, and in the war launched on September 27, 2020 under the leadership of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, President Ilham Aliyev, the slogan "Karabakh is Azerbaijan!" gave strength to the Azerbaijani army, and as a result, the 30-year occupation was ended. Despite the fact that 5 years have passed since that day, the modern technologies used in the Patriotic War and the invincibility of our brave army have become the subject of research by military experts around the world.
Later, the veteran of the Patriotic War Ramil Shirinov said that the heroism, courage and professionalism of our servicemen, as well as the unity of our people, played a special role in the restoration of our territorial integrity and sovereignty.
In his speech, the veteran of the Patriotic War Rashad Aslanov emphasized that patriotism does not consist only of military uniforms, but also in everyone performing their work conscientiously. Then, the veterans of the Patriotic War presented an honorary decree to AzTU student Rashvin Shirelizade for always keeping in mind the issues of patriotism, the families of martyrs and veterans.
After the speeches, the play “Half-Remaining Dreams” based on the play “Dreamy Boys” by Yefim Abramov and Leyla Beyim was presented by the AzTU “Paradox” Theater Club. AzTU students dedicated the play to the souls of the martyrs who died in the 44-day Patriotic War.
At the end of the performance, People's Artist Valeh Karimov spoke and highly praised the acting skills of AzTU students.
